GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My experience at Martinsburg for the past 4 years have been good. This school has brought me many friendships and lot of memories. My favorite parts of this school is how close students and faculty are with each other and how we always show up to support our sports teams. I don't have anything really negative to say, but i would love to see changes in the school spirit and the participation in activities. This year the changes have started with new classes and new faculty stepping up to make these changes happen.
